A freezing start to the morning with frost and ice widespread throughout the country

Motorists are advised to take care on another icy morning on the roads.Met Éireann said it is still very cold this morning with frost and ice around the country, with temperatures set to stay low throughout the day, especially in the east.

Poland’s Mateusz Sochowicz in action Sunday. (Edgar Su/Reuters). What’s crazier than doing an Olympic luge run , which involves zooming feet-first down a windy, icy chute at up to 90 mph? Doing an Olympic luge run without a visor to protect your eyes.

A solution freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent. This phenomenon is called freezing point depression. The equation describing the change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution is

Hey, at least Poland’s Mateusz Sochowicz had the rest of his helmet on.

Stay up-to-date with all the latest medal tables, event schedules and news from Pyeongchang

And it’s probably worth mentioning that the weather in PyeongChang has been notably frigid, even by the standards of the Winter Games. So that wind rushing into Sochowicz’s exposed face Sunday had to be awfully, awfully cold.

This student went out in freezing weather wearing shorts and people can’t get enough of it

A student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison decided to brave the snowy temperatures. In a pair of shorts.&nbsp;In a pair of shorts.

The equation describing the change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution is 3. Remove the test tube from the bath, stir vigorously and note the constant temperature during the time that ice and water ate both present.

Speaking to Poland’s Przeglad Sportowy, Sochowicz said the weather that evening was “really cold” even without speeding along in a luge. “So I put on a coat,” he said. “Then I lost my protective visor somewhere.

“I didn’t realize it until the moment when the green start light lit up. What could I do? I took off without the visor.

“I traversed the whole track nearly blind, but on the whole it turned out okay, although after the ninth [turn], I made another mistake,” said Sochowicz.

So it’s probably fair to cut Sochowicz some slack for finishing 31st in that run, after posting the 29th- and 19th-fastest times in his first two turns. It might also be fair to ask the nine men who posted a worse time in that run: What’s your excuse?

A solution will solidfy ( freeze ) at a lower temperature than the pure solvent. This is the colligative property called freezing point depression. The more solute dissolved, the greater the effect. An equation has been developed for this behavior.

Snap freezing , or flash freezing , is the process by which samples are lowered to temperatures 2. The CoolRack will cool to snap freezing temperature of -150 oC in about 12 minutes, although to Always use protective equipment including insulated gloves when handling dry ice or materials such

One man who performed far better was Team USA’s Chris Mazdzer, whose second-place finish in the event made him the first American man to win an Olympic medal in singles luge. He also earned a gold medal in understatement by saying of Sochowicz’s mishap, “That was not by design.”

“You want the face shields on, especially when it’s cold,” Mazdzer continued. “Not only does it help aerodynamics, but it quiets the sound. I mean, if you’re sticking your head out of a car going 75 mph, you’re not going to be able to drive the car.

“So, especially with these crazy race conditions, he made it down — I can’t believe he did that. That must have been the most terrifying realization on the handles to be, like, ‘Okay, let’s go,’ and you’re like, ‘Oh my God!’ ”

Agreeing with a questioner that it would have been like downhill ski racing without goggles, Mazdzer added, “That is something you do not want to do. But it’s the rules — you don’t need it, but I highly recommend it.”

Atomic kittens: 'Trump and Kim' play nice at Olympics

As the Pyeongchang Olympics opened Friday the sight of two bellicose "world leaders" putting aside the threat of nuclear war warmed the cockles on a freezing cold night. As excited spectators filed into the Olympic Stadium for the gala ceremony, many did a double-take.Could it really be US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un?Normally obsessed with comparing the size of their nuclear buttons, here the pair looked more like atomic kittens.In fact it was two spitting-image lookalikes -- not the actual bickering enemies -- who were turning heads, shaking hands and taking selfies.

How do they survive without food? How do they survive in this freezing temperature ? Angler fish are ten times smaller to the female. After it gets matured, it loses its capability to feed itself as its digestive system stops working.

According to Przeglad Sportowy, Sochowicz “admitted that he’d already gotten a stiff scolding” from the Polish luge team’s head coach, Marek Skowronski.
